Write.as Development @writeas_dev@abunchtell.com

No #WriteFreely release tomorrow / this week, as we didn't make any major changes last week.

But if you run your own instance, I need your feedback for what we should include in v1.0: https://discuss.write.as/t/crucial-features-for-v1-0/229

[#writeasdev] Closed go-writeas #9: Add NewClientWith constructor https://github.com/writeas/go-writeas/pull/9

[#wfdev] kaiyou opened #48: Fix the Docker build when installing go-sqlite https://github.com/writeas/writefreely/pull/48

#WriteFreely

I should say, text posts are pulled in right now. Still need to test quote, link, photo, etc. types.

All should be straightforward except for photo types; need to create some stable @snap_as API endpoints for that. Video won't be supported for now.

But I'll probably be able to finish this all by Monday.

Yes, a Tumblr importer *is* pretty simple with the existing integration.

Got posts pulled in, HTML converted to Markdown, tags and dates parsed, all compiled into Write.as-friendly text. Now just need to add them to the database and create a little importer UI.

Okay, undid the rename because it meant renaming all the IDs used in the app.

But the good news is that the app made it through automated submission to the #elementaryOS #AppCenter! Not sure if it'll actually work without the CLI packaged in the way they need, but we'll see!

To clear up some confusion, I've renamed the GitHub repo for our Linux app to writeas-elementary, as it's only needed on GH to build for #elementaryOS: https://github.com/writeas/writeas-elementary

The @code_as repo has the official source: https://code.as/writeas/writeas-gtk

Okay, seriously going back to coding...

...now.

Of course, that update being done will mean that support for all #WriteFreely instances is a few tiny modifications (and a small rebranding) away.

Depending on when it's finished, the Android app might be our first first-party WriteFreely app. Keep an eye out here for that: https://writefreely.org/apps

Lastly, development on v2.0 of the Android app (with blog / account support) is officially moving forward again. After 2 years of fighting it, I went ahead and hired someone to finish up the last bits for me.

I will be happy if this means I can retire from mobile development forever.

But at least the app will finally be up to date :)

A v1.0.1 update for the Write.as Linux app will be out today or tomorrow, which fixes some styling on recent versions of GTK and a few other small issues.

Besides a few open issues on WriteFreely, everything seems pretty stable! So now my focus is back on new functionality, especially for regular writers. Besides email subscriptions, I'm thinking about what ePub export and paid reader subscriptions will look like.

#WriteFreely

Wifi connection keeps dropping, says "[wireless] device not found." Can't find the pattern of what's causing it. Guess I'm migrating to a new machine :/

Working on supporting email subscriptions to blogs tonight. Will launch and test this on Write.as first.

Took a break from development today. Worked on a new video on @writeas.

Lately my normal Linux machine randomly drops my wifi connection and tells me my wireless device is offline, forcing me to restart to get it working again.

I reallllly don't want to switch to a different machine and start over again. But I'll probably spend tomorrow trying other things to fix it. If nothing works, I'll dust off some other laptop and spend a while setting it up.
